Restaurants in Claremont CA

From Los Angeles to the Inland Empire – and beyond – foodies are flocking to Claremont, a place with a growing reputation as a “food neighborhood” that’s “worth the drive.”

Half of Claremont’s more than 80 restaurants are located within the walkable downtown area referred to as the Claremont Village, an idyllic collection of boutiques nestled among peaceful tree-lined streets.

Here epicureans can enjoy the city’s free parking, or hop off the Metrolink, and stroll to wherever their appetites lead them, whether it be white linens inside wood-paneled restaurants, bustling outdoor cafés, or gourmet bakeries.

“The array of international restaurants [in Claremont] is way too trendy and more haute than any regular municipality of 35,824 residents has a right to host, which makes it a must-stop for people whose college years are decades behind them.” – Sacramento Bee

But a foodie tour of the Village wouldn’t truly be complete without a visit to Cheese Cave or Vom Fass Claremont, offering fine oils, vinegars, wines, and spirits. And for those who relish artisan crafted coffee drinks, there’s Augie’s Coffeehouse in the Claremont Packing House.

Popular places to eat outside of the Village include Euro Cafe, acclaimed as a top choice for Portuguese fare in Los Angeles, and Claremont Craft Ales, which in addition to offering local brews regularly hosts rotating gourmet food trucks.

A weekend stay in Claremont means that in addition to indulging in a wide variety of good eats, visitors can enjoy a leisurely Sunday morning stroll through the region’s largest farmers and artisans market in downtown Claremont, and enjoy coffee and freshly baked pastries at places like Some Crust Bakery, Last Drop Café, and 42nd Street Bagel Cafe.
